Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
step 2
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil followed by the thinly sliced onions (2). Add a pinch of salt and leave to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and sticky. Add a splash of water if the onions begin to burn.
step 3
Put the cottage cheese (130 g) and cheddar (80 g) into a high-powered blender and blitz until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the eggs (8) by hand (if blended, they will deflate in the oven) and finally stir through the chopped parsley (15 g).
step 4
Lightly grease a non-stick 12-hole muffin tray with a bit of olive oil, or line with silicone cupcake cases. Add a spoonful of the caramelised onions to the bottom of each case and top up with the egg mixture, filling up ¾ of the way.
step 5
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until set. These will last in the fridge for 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
